Mood:  caffeinated

I thought I would give you all an update on how Potter is doing since the emails have been non-stop since Friday.

Potter is doing GREAT! Although to be honest I miss the sick puppy a little just because now he just seems to be on the go ALL THE TIME. He will lie down for a second then he is back up and running around. I would love to know where he gets all of his energy. I finally had him calmed down last night until Lennie showed up and worked him up again. But it is great to see him so happy. Fenwick tolerates Lennie but Potter loves him.

I need to get him some more toys because he has declared my socks as his new chew toy. He doesn’t tear them up. He just carries them in his mouth and then runs around the house while I try to chase him to get it back. Lennie was laughing so hard last night as he watched me try to catch Potter to reclaim my sock  Thanks for the help Len!

He got his first bath the other night and did not like it at all. I walked in at one point and he had his tail between his legs and this pitiful look on his face. But he smells much better and doesn’t seem to be shedding as much. I am still brushing him every night though. Seems to be the one thing I can do to calm him down.

He still doesn’t like the crate although last night wasn’t as bad. He barked for about 20 minutes until he found the bone I stuffed with peanut butter and dog treats hiding under his blanket.

Fenwick also seem to be doing a bit better. We went from full on attack mode to sitting in the corner growling and last night he just sat on the ottoman and just watched the dog. There was one point of tension when Potter grabbed Fenwick’s Cat Puppet and Fenwick let out this horrible growl and Potter dropped the puppet and backed away. Fenwick knows that the dog is terrified and take every advantage to torment him. This morning he blocked Potters access to water. I had to act as a shield between the two so that Potter could get by. So funny.

Potter has a couple more days of antibiotics left and I gave him his wormer last night which actually went well (Thanks Tanya for the tip). Hopefully I can get him neutered soon and we can start going to the dog park so he can work out all his puppy energy playing with the other dogs. I found a mobile vet that is willing to do the surgery and vaccinated him for $90. I told her my story and she was so eager to help. She has even offered to give me a discount on the microchip.

I am hoping soon that Lennie and I can get back to our relationship. It has been put on hold a bit what with the dog and then Lennie’s dental work. I am hoping we can go grab a quick bit to eat tonight and have some quiet time away from the pets. I do need to run to Petco and get some puppy food.
